Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
20 Ndamupeza mtumiki wanga Davide;
ndamudzoza ndi mafuta opatulika.
21 Dzanja langa lidzamuchirikiza;
zoonadi, mkono wanga udzamupatsa mphamvu.
22 Adani sadzamulamula kuti apereke msonkho;
anthu oyipa sadzamusautsa.
23 Ndidzaphwanya adani ake pamaso pake
ndi kukantha otsutsana naye.
24 Chikondi changa chokhulupirika chidzakhala naye,
ndipo kudzera mʼdzina langa nyanga yake idzakwezedwa.
25 Ndidzayika dzanja lake pa nyanja,
dzanja lake lamanja pa mitsinje.
26 Iyeyo adzafuwula kwa Ine kuti, ‘Ndinu Atate anga,
Mulungu wanga, Thanthwe ndi Chipulumutso changa.’
27 Ndidzamuyika kuti akhale mwana wanga woyamba kubadwa;
wokwezedwa kwambiri pakati pa mafumu a dziko lapansi.
28 Ndidzamusungira chifundo changa kwamuyaya,
ndipo pangano langa ndi iye silidzatha.
29 Ine ndidzakhazikitsa zidzukulu zake mpaka muyaya,
mpando wake waufumu ngati masiku a miyamba.
30 “Ngati ana ake adzataya lamulo langa
ndi kusatsatira malangizo anga,
31 ngati adzaswa malamulo anga
ndi kulephera kusunga ziphunzitso zanga,
32 Ine ndidzalanga tchimo lawo ndi ndodo,
mphulupulu zawo powakwapula.
33 Koma sindidzachotsa chikondi changa pa iye,
kapena kukhala wosakhulupirika kwa iyeyo.
34 Sindidzaswa pangano langa
kapena kusintha zimene milomo yanga yayankhula.
35 Ndinalumbira kamodzi mwa kuyera kwanga
ndipo sindidzanama kwa Davide,
36 kuti zidzukulu zake zidzakhale kwamuyaya
ndipo mpando wake waufumu udzakhazikika pamaso panga ngati dzuwa;
37 udzakhazikika kwamuyaya monga mwezi,
mboni yokhulupirika mʼmitambo.

Zimenezi ndi zimene anachita anthu amphamvu atatuwo.
